Hey,
I come from a research and development background in biotechnology and i recently took my GMAT. I did quite well - scoring 740. I wanted to know if i should include it in my Resume.
Originally answered:
I would hide anything below 700. If English is your first language or you went to English speaking institutions I would not put anything below 730.
Hope it helps,
Andrea
Dear Avaneesh,
It does not hurt to include your impressive GMAT score of 740 (which is in the 97th percentile if I'm not mistaken), but this question drives at a more fundamental issue: what your ultimate resume and application strategy here? You woud need to supply a little more information to guage the impact of the inclusion of this score. I refer to information such as your academic history, professional career to date, and the firms you to which you intend to apply...among other things.
Be aware that with certain firms and with certain application programmes (the traditional MBA autumn recruiting being a rather specific one), the 97th percentile impressive, but, by itself, not overly so. Therefore a comprehensive application strategy must support the inclusion of the score in your resume to create the maximum positive impact.
Good luck to you.
Good advice Tyrion, i put up more information on a new question. i'd love your thoughts. — Avaneesh on Jun 10, 2017

Hi,
Agree, would not put below 700-710
650 is unfortunately too low and will not provide you any extra points no matter what the tier is
